About

A little about me

Hi, I’m Njiiri — a product design lead from Kenya, still figuring out what “home” means when you’re always halfway somewhere else. My work is about dissecting a problem until it’s simple, then architecting a solution that puts the person using it at the center, without losing sight of what the business actually needs. Leadership means lots of orchestrating, so it’s been a delicate balance between steering and bringing a team of talented folks along for the ride in every project.

Outside of that: you can always find me doing yoga in the mornings, reading books on identity politics, making calls home on long walks, enjoying music and traveling somewhere.

I’m also queer and partnered with a gorgeous cat named Luna. I talk to the moon & trees more than I’d like to admit, and I’m working my way into growing an actual flower garden. Aaaaand I’m completely serious about cheesecake and tinker with recipes often ✨

Currently

Trying to keep a flower garden alive. Ask me again in a season.

Always

Traveling, walking, reading, yoga, and rethinking a design problem three different ways before I’m happy with it.
